It started off innocently enough. I wanted to change up my packaging materials so people get a better feel for who I am… someone who cares enough about the little details. I call them “cov loves” (oh yeah, I really do). They are small touches on a product before they are sent out to a client. Usually they have a logo on it or are wrapped in cardstock, in a color I think the client will love. The thing is, when I send out cds and dvds I dont like the little jewel case I put the disc in. Because, (wait for it….) it says “Memorex” on the plastic cover. And. It. Drives. Me. Nuts.
It really does.
Moving oooooon, when I was in New Orleans, I found a fleur-de-lis wax seal and triumphantly decided (and verbally declared) that this would be my new signature. GOODBYE MEMOREX jewel cases! I would take scrapbook paper sheets and fold them into an envelope to put the disc inside…like so:
This was a meticulous decision. No, REALLY…I spent hours sealing cardstock and then opening the seal to make SURE this was the right decision (this coming from the girl who stands in line at Michael’s Crafts silently cringing if the cashier folds the scrapbooking paper before she puts it in the bag. Like, HELLO?! You’re KILLING me!! Leave it flat!!)
After analyzing my new packaging, I was a little concerned that the wax would somehow soak though the paper and contaminate the disc inside…soooo, back to the plastic Memorex jewel cases. Sigh… but at least now they’re covered up. I can hear the Memorex cases laughing at me. They’ve won this battle.
